I  as 


N  this,  my  twenty-first  year,  it  has  occurred 
to  me  to  ascertain,  for  my  own  satisfaction 
and  for  the  information  of  my  countless 
friends,  just  to  what  extent  the  pioneer  of 
all  typewriters  outnumbers  the  combined  forces  of  com- 
petition in  New  York  City  —  the  headquarters  of  effort. 
For  the  past  sixteen  years  attempt  after  attempt  has  been 
made  to  displace  me  in  the  estimation  of  the  public,  each 
succeeding  year  producing  more  than  its  predecessor  of 
would-be  rivals.  Many  have  fallen  by  the  wayside.  Of 
the  survivors,  not  less  than  twenty-six  different  makes  are 
to-day  represented  in  the  New  York  market — Remington 
and  twenty-five  other  styles.  In  the  following  pages  I 
shall  deal  with  the  twenty-five  competing  machines 
collectively,  under  the  title  ''AH  Others.'' 

A  complete  census  of  writing  machines  in  use  in 
New  York  City  is  impracticable ;  but,  in  view  of  the 
prevailing  tendency  to  concentration  of  business  in  the 
large  office  buildings,  an  accounting  of  the  conditions 
therein  existing  will  serve  to  reflect  the  sentiment  of 
the  community*
